Le film nous révèle la personnalité complexe et charismatique de la "marraine du punk" qui s'est imposée dans les années 70 grâce à son style poétique et à ses textes enragés. Entre interviews, concerts, peinture et photographies, Dream of Life explore onze années de la vie de l'artiste. Pour cette icône du rock, qui commente le film en voix-off, l'existence peut se définir comme une redoutable contradiction.

A group of Baker fans, ranging from ex-associates to ex-wives and children, talk about the man. Weber’s film traces the man’s career from the 1950s, playing with jazz greats like Charlie Parker, Gerry Mulligan, and Russ Freeman, to the 1980s, when his heroin addiction and domestic indifference kept him in Europe. By juxtaposing these two decades, Weber presents a sharp contrast between the younger, handsome Baker — the statuesque idol who resembled a mix of James Dean and Jack Kerouac — to what he became, “a seamy looking drugstore cowboy-cum-derelict,” as J. Hoberman put it in his Village Voice review.
